Say what you mean, and say it clearly, precisely, and unambiguously. Letting go involves being aware of feeling, letting it comp up, staying with it, and letting it run its course without wanting to make if different or do anything about it. It means simply to let the feeling be there and to focus on letting out the energy behind it. Let go of the fear or guilt that you have about the feeling first, and then get into the feeling itself. The act of a tell is wanted to give due effect to all stories of incident. I screamed as loud as fear could make me. When letting go, ignore all thoughts. Focus on the feeling itself, not on thoughts. Thoughts are endless and self-reinforcing, and they only breed more thoughts. You cannot just stay in the house creating negative thoughts. #RyanPhillippe 1 of 7

We can begin with facing our aggressiveness; then unearth the anger that underlies it, developing more and more intimacy with that anger, eventually feeling deeply empowered, simultaneously vulnerable and filled with a healing courage. There is undeniable growth in such work, requiring both a keenly discerning awareness and a full yes to passion, bringing together heart, guts, and head in ways that serve our highest good. I adore Thee with profoundest homage: I bless Thee a thousand times and with the Seraphim who stand by Thy throne, I also say: At this moment when Spring returns to the Earth and everything is at the turn of renewal, I wish you health, wealth, and longevity and your family health, happiness, every success and satisfaction. #RyanPhillippe 2 of 7

Violence seems to beget violence from generation to generation to generation. In violence, we do not just consider injuring others but also give the approval to do so, often with a forcefulness as unrestrained as it is self-justified. Vengeance, bloodlust, sever dehumanization, rape, torture, acting with extreme prejudice—whatever for it is, violence is aggression with no restrains, further fueled by a mindset that adds an emphatic, not-to-be-debated stamp of approval. All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish. #RyanPhillippe 3 of 7

As uncomfortable as it may be to bring our own violence or capacity for violence out of the shadows, we owe it to ourselves—and everyone ese—to do so. Then we can change our responses in the light of our knowledge. How we behave with each other is patterned with a high degree of probability, but is not inevitable. Conflicting patterns generate more anxiety, do not reinforce behaviors, and increase the likelihood of the relationship ending. A shove usually provokes a countershove. A smile usually invites another’s smile. Tears usually elicit tender sympathy. A request for help usually produces a helping response. #RyanPhillippe 4 of 7

Of course, these patterns do not always follow. Sometimes a shove is met with sympathy, a smile with a snarl, tears with anger, helplessness with thoughtlessness. Then people become uncertain how to respond. Another assumption is that all behavior is necessary in some form at some time. What we say and what we do are neither desirable nor undesirable in and of themselves. Everything depends upon the setting, the context, the situation in which they occur. Their degree of intensity, their quality of flexibility, their manifestation of balance and stability, and their fittingness all affect the way in which they are evaluated. All behavior may be may be fitting or ill-fitting, depending upon circumstances, underscores the conviction that there are times to be close and times to be distant, times to be assertive and times to be submissive, times to comfort and times to criticize. #RyanPhillippe 5 of 7

There is a season for everything, a time for tears, a time for laughter; a time for mourning, a time for dancing, a time for embracing, a time to refrain from embracing, a time for keeping silent, a time for speaking. I can see why people may suspect that others are mentally delayed. Many of you lack respect and do not take others into consideration, and people have things going on, so they may not get aggressive when disrespect them because if they did, they would be fighting too many people. So you take their tolerance for weakness. We are multileveled beings. We are immediately aware of that complexity when we experience ourselves feeling one way inside and acting another way outside. #RyanPhillippe 6 of 7

There is the immediately apparent level of what everyone can see. This is the public level. It is available to others, though less available to oneself. Similarly, accessible is the level of conscious intention. Here I mean the experiences and reports of what one is thinking, feeling, and intending. It is made up of everything one says about oneself and one’s World. It is deliberate. Ordinarily, we do not have to have been encouraged to be violent in order to get violent with someone who is harming our child—this usually comes quite naturally to us, no matter how removed from aggressiveness we have been prior to such a circumstance. We carry in us the potential and capacity for violence, but do not act out expect under extreme circumstances (as when our safety or the safety of those close to us is being strongly threatened). #RyanPhillippe 7 of 7
